October 28 - October 29, 2021

The Sepsis 2021 Symposium will address the diagnosis, epidemiology, science, and clinical management of sepsis including that in low and middle-income countries and the current COVID-19 situation.

This conference will be mostly virtual and focus on sepsis care worldwide especially care in low- and middle-income countries.

It will also provide a unique opportunity to hear from and engage with international and African thought leaders from the fields of critical care, infectious diseases, internal medicine, and emergency medicine, who have extensive expertise in the clinical care, science, and investigation of sepsis and the host response, and in the design, implementation, and interpretation of clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of sepsis treatments. The current COVID-19 pandemic and impact on sepsis will also be discussed.
